PAPER-HANGERS’ SIZING 


For sizing walls before papering, especially when they have 
been painted or varnished, or on rough-finished walls. One 
pound makes one gallon of size. Dissolves in cold water.

SISK’S PAPER-HANGERS’ PATENT SIZING 


For painted, kalsomined or lime-washed walls and ceilings, 
requiring no scraping or washing to prepare the surface. | It 
works easily and dries quickly. One gallon to five gallons of 
hot water will cover four to six thousand square feet. 

A new feature of this sizing makes it particularly valuable to 
the paper-hanger. Stains appearing in wall-water after hanging 
are due to free lime in the plaster, but the wall-paper or the 
paper-hanger is usually blamed. You can avoid any such trouble 
by using Sisk’s Paper-hangers’ Patent Sizing, which positively 
detects free lime. After the size is applied, if there is any free 
lime in the surface it will turn a salmon color. By coating 
such spots with white shellac, you can hang the finest goods with- 
out fear as to the result.

PEATS POWDER PASTE 


Is another of the Guaranteed Clover 
Leaf products—fills a long felt want 
for a dry or powder paste that is really 
better than the ‘““ Home Made” flour 
and water kind. 

Before offering our powder paste 
to our trade we have subjected it to 
the severest tests known to the prac- 
tical paperhanger; and unhesitatingly 
. guarantee it to be the best dry paste 
on the market and equal in every way to any pure flour and water 
paste we have ever seen. It is cheapet than flour paste. Permits 
paper to slide easily—spreads smoothly and readily—does not 
sour or ferment—is practically stainless.

FLOOR PAINT 

We offer this as a very superior quality of 
paint. Made with special reference to the 
covering and protection of floors, which, when 
RED PE applied to a thoroughly clean and dry surface, 
GanhiNg SS produces an attractive and durable coating, and 
which, by reason of its composition, hardens 
with age and the application of cold water. It 
will dry over night so the floor may be used 
next morning, and is, considering its superior 
quality, as good as it is possible to make a 
quick-drying floor paint. Exceptionally low-priced. Color card 
upon request.

SHELLAC 


Clover Leaf Brand 

The steadily rising market price of pure gum and alcohol nec- 
essarily sent the price of Shellac up and as it is a material that 
may be easily adulterated without detection by the average user, 
the price conditions have been a temptation to many dealers to 
adulterate and cheapen, regardless of the injury this does to 
quality. 

Clover Leaf Brand of Shellac is not only strictly pure but con- 
tains five pounds of pure gum (no adulterants) to the gallon— 
and may be considerably thinned for ordinary use by the addition 
of denatured alcohol. 3 

Owing to unstable condition of market, prices not quoted but 
sent upon request.

JOHNSON’S FLOOR-WAX 


This well-known preparation requires no introduction to the 
trade. It is not brittle; will neither scratch nor deface like shel- 
lac or varnish, and is not soft and sticky like beeswax. It con- 
tains the good qualities of both, and is therefore particularly 
adapted for finishing floors.

PEATS’ CLOVER LEAF BRAND 


GUARANTEED RUBBER ROOFING 


A practical, ready-to-lay roofing that furnishes perfect pro- 
tection against all the elements that make a roofing necessary. 

This roofing, put up under the Clover Leaf label, is the best 
roofing of its kind on the market. 

Clover Leaf roofing consists of a strong fibrous 
felt, uniformly saturated with a non-volatile com- 
pound, making a tough but pliable fabric. This 
fabric is made absolutely impervious to all ele- 
ments by being heavily coated on both sides. The 
coating on the under side protects against rising 
steam, vapors, gases, etc., and on the upper side 
makes a durable wear- and weather-resisting sur- 
face that is unequaled by any other similar mate- 
rial. Withstands all weather conditions, hot or 
cold, is practically fireproof and will last for years. 

Thirty-six inches wide. Put up in rolls of 108 
square feet, which, allowing for laps, will cover 
100 square feet. A sufficient quantity of nails and cement is 
packed with each roll. 

Carried in three thicknesses.

“ROYAL” RUBBER ROOFING 


This roofing is composed of wood felt, saturated with pure 
asphaltum, coated with a harder composition of asphaltum and 
surfaced on both sides with silica, which gives added strength 
and makes it weather-proof, water-proof, and practically fire- 
proof. 


Elastic, pliable, does not dry out and therefore never needs 
painting, will not shrink, crack, peel or curl, and is not affected 
by heat or cold. 


Any one can apply this roofing. A hammer and knife are the 
only tools needed. A sufficient quantity of nails and cement is 
furnished with each shipment. 


Put up in rolls containing 108 square feet, which will cover 
100 square feet, the extra eight square feet providing for laps. 
Carried in three thicknesses.
